Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a large bowl, mix together the harissa paste and the vinegar, then add the chicken and onions.

Made this for tea last night with a few adaptations....doubled the harrisa and vinegar... Used fresh peppers and new potatoes.... Result was really tasty quick and easy to prepare meal... Partner enjoyed this too, worth a try

wow wow wow! this is by far the tastiest chicken dish I have cooked, and so easy! I used 2tbsp red wine vinegar, chicken stock and a good squirt of tomato puree to create enough juicy sauce. I put the peppers in with onions and chicken so they was nice and soft. Used butternut squash to make as a mash which complimented the dish so well! Highly recommend!

A big hit with my guests. Took the advice here and added a little tomato puree to the harissa, and also the whole pack of feta (although actually half a pack would have been okay too). Added pomegranate to the couscous. Will definitely make again. A definite crowd pleaser.

Also made this with actual pepper and put it in altogether at the beginning plus did with pork loin steak instead of chicken. Would like a bit more liquid and maybe a chilli next time, could have done with a bit more spice. Next time I'll marinade the meat beforehand for extra flavour.

Only one word to say about this recipe. AMAZING! I have made it so many times now for having people round for dinner - everyone loves it and they always ask for the recipe! The pine nuts are a must as they really add to the texture and flavour of the dish. I always use a whole block of feta cheese though - the recipe states far too little for my liking!

All my boys enjoyed this even the 10year who doesn't like spicy food. Very tasty, I would like it to be a bit more juicy so may add tomatoe puree? didn't bother with pine nuts, and the couscous could do with more flavour as well, but other than that lovely will do again no doubt

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe. I always do it for a quick and easy dinner when we have guests round - it tastes amazing and everyone always asks for the recipe. I also substitute the red wine vinegar for balsamic and I use pretty much the entire jar of roasted peppers and a whole block of feta. Mmm!

Lovely! Would always use fresh peppers over jar ones and this made a yummy sticky juice in the pan. I used new potatoes par boiled and added to the pan instead of couscous. The feta was a really nice addition to this dish and made a gorgeous creamy texture. Seemed a little bland on the harissa for me though and would consider adding more next time. Maybe because of the fresh peppers.

Ours didn't create any sauce and I can't see where it would come from via the ingredients (only 1 tbsp of vinegar). Next time I will add some more stock. Loved it though and dead easy for a mid-week after work can't be bothered meal. Most of the ingredients are store cupboard.

I made this with pork chops and it was so simple and good. Another one for the quick supper file! The harissa is very spicy and my kids complained so next time I might just use 2 teaspoons harissa and add some tomato puree as someone else suggested.
